This morning he slept till 9am...''hallelujah'' music....Mom got to sleep YAY! Even though he woke up 4 times during the night. You can definitely tell the nights after the ACTH injections how they affect his whole mood. He wasn't as happy as yesterday, so my little grumpy was just that grumpy today, although Mom did try her best to cheer him up. We went for a walk outside and I put Oakley down on the grass so I could hang up the washing, he was so in awe as to being put down on the grass, he loved touching and pulling on the grass, and then he does his little bounce with a little giggle. Then he started staring at the sky and the leaves on the trees, absoulutley fascinated by all the things around him. Seeing things through the eyes of a child, makes you yourself see things for the first time as well. It's like kids actually help you to pause and take in the moment. It's amazing.
Dad and sister went for swimming lessons this morning and then they went to find Oakley a walking ring, a gift to him for being such a brave boy and for all that he's been through these past 2 months. So they came home with a walking ring that is identical to the one Petal had as a baby. I remember when we bought her one, and how the first thing she did in it was walk backwards. Well, Oakley is the same, we put him inside the ring, and he immediately started going backwards, and then he would stand there and start to bounce. Hahahaha, we were all laughing, because it is the cutest thing to watch, it's like he knows if he stands he needs to bounce. Looking forward to being chased around the house in the walking ring, when Petal was a baby I used to put her in the walking ring, and she would wait for me to open the bedroom door and she would charge 100 miles per hour down the passage on a mission, I have a feeling Oakley being a boy will be much faster, and the curiosity in him will start coming out, he's definitely going to be an explorer, hiding the baby powder (been there done that with Petal, all went quiet and I went to look for her and there she was covered in powder, walking ring covered in powder and the floor covered in powder hehehehe, mischievous little people they are). He sat in the walking ring for a good 20 min going backwards with the help of his sister trying to show him which way he needs to go, but then he'll just sit there and bounce and push the steering wheel's horn...beep beep....and smile, so proud of himself, such a clever little person.
He's now sleeping, all snuggled up on the bed dreaming sweet dreams. Looking forward to another fun filled day tomorrow with my little family. <3
